Diapers, naps, swaddles and strollers. This wasn’t Audrey’s plan. The plan was to get a degree, get a job, make a family. After countless failed attempts to score a “real job,” Audrey spends three years as a nanny for seven families across the U.S. With each family she works for, she discovers her life’s purpose by simply caring for others. In “Generation Nanny,” Audrey explores the history of generations of nannies before her and the generations that will come after. “Generation Nanny” gives voice to the current state of the American childcare and education systems and unveils the intersectionality of women’s careers, family planning and a woman’s pursuit for equality in the workplace.
